177 Roundabout

Lin Fei didn't give an order immediately, but said, "Tell me the details of the enemy army." ”

Niu Dalong replied: "The enemy army gathered a large number of troops an hour ago and surrounded the No. 1 Heights from the east, north and south of the No. 1 Heights, and two regiments were deployed in the east, namely the First Field Regiment and the Second Field Regiment, and one regiment was deployed in the north and one to the south, which were the First and Second Regiments of the City Defense. ”

"Wait." Lin Fei directly interrupted Niu Dalong's words, and then asked, "How did you know the number of the enemy army?" Can the enemy tell you their name? ”

Niu Dalong said: "This is how we know the number of the enemy's troops, there are identification plates on the enemy's uniforms, on which the number of the troops is written, and after our troops killed them, they recovered some corpses, and we know the number of the enemy troops from those corpses." ”

Lin Fei understood, nodded and said, "So that's the case, is the enemy army dispatching a whole regiment?" Or several battalions in a regiment? ”

Niu Dalong said: "I think it should be a whole regiment, because the total number of each attacking force is about 2,000 people, and a battalion of the enemy army does not have so many people. ”

Lin Fei let out an "oh", and then asked, "Then has the enemy army started to attack?" How's the battle going? ”

Niu Dalong replied: "The enemy army has just taken advantage of the darkness of night to carry out several rounds of attacks on the ring defensive position built by our army at the mountain crossing, all of which ended in failure, and now the enemy army has stopped attacking and has begun to rest. ”

Lin Fei said: "You immediately report to me the location of the enemy army..."

Niu Dalong said "yes", and then said: "The first field regiment of the enemy army is located directly east of the No. 1 high ground......

"Wait... I asked the staff officer to write down the location. Lin Fei turned around and made a gesture to He Kaisheng and Li Tianqian as he spoke, and the two of them led their staff officers to take out pencils and maps. ”

Niu Dalong agreed, and then told the enemy's location one by one, and the staff officers marked the enemy's location on the map, Lin Fei listened to Niu Dalong's words and said: "You must hold the enemy firmly behind, and I will send troops to outflank the enemy." ”

Lin Fei put down the phone, with a burst of surprise in his heart, thinking that his judgment of the direction of the main attack was not wrong, the Spaniards really chose to attack the No. 1 high ground, then he could now gather forces to outflank the enemy army.

Lin Fei walked to the front of the map, at this time the staff officers had already marked the four Spanish troops on the map, Lin Fei looked at the map and calculated in his heart, the first field regiment and the second field regiment were on the east side of the No. 1 highland, the distance was very close, the first city defense regiment was on the south side of the highland, and it was relatively close to the first and second field regiments, and the second city defense regiment was on the north side of the highland, not far from other troops.

In this case, it is unlikely that these four regiments will be divided and surrounded, because the enemy forces are very close and there is no room for detours between the two armies, so I should do this, send my troops out, and cut off the route of these four regiments back to Manila, but I have only three regiments of the 2nd Brigade and the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade that can be mobilized, and one regiment must be left to defend Cavite, that is, I can only mobilize three regiments.

Three regiments are only more than 4,000 people, can they surround and annihilate the enemy's more than 8,000 people?

Lin Fei thought in his heart, hesitated for a while, and then he suddenly thought, the enemy army must not know the specific number of our army, that is to say, once our army appears behind the enemy, the enemy army will think that they are surrounded by us, and the army's spirit will inevitably be in chaos, and it will inevitably retreat when the time comes.

At this time, the Spanish troops were relatively close to the No. 1 heights, and our artillery was limited by the angle of fire and could not launch an attack on it, but once the enemy retreated, it would enter the range of our artillery, and then the artillery would be able to kill it...

When the enemy is attacked by artillery, it is bound to scatter in formation, which creates conditions for our army to annihilate the enemy army.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei made up his mind to outflank the enemy army in a roundabout way, so Lin Fei looked at He Kaisheng and said, "Convey the order." ”

He Kaisheng took out a pen and paper and waited for Lin Fei to speak, Lin Fei cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Order the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade to occupy Area 14, the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade to occupy Area 15, and the 6th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade to occupy Area 16, and all units must arrive in the designated area before 2 o'clock in the morning on June 9, seize the favorable terrain, and launch a strike on the enemy forces outside the No. 1 Heights at 2:20 on June 9. ”

Before the attack, Lin Fei divided the battlefield into several small pieces, each of which was numbered, to avoid the commander from delaying the battle because he was not familiar with the place name, and the No. 14, No. 15 and No. 16 areas were behind the four Spanish regiments, forming an encirclement of the four Spanish regiments.

After Lin Fei gave a roundabout order to the three regiments, he said to staff officer He Kaisheng: "Order the fourth regiment of the second brigade to hold the Krabi position." ”

He Kaisheng wrote the order on the order book, and then handed the book to Lin Fei, Lin Fei casually signed his name on it, and He Kaisheng walked out in three steps and two steps.

At 11 o'clock in the evening of June 8, Raceno was furious when he heard that the four regiments had launched several charges and still failed to take the high ground of the small town of Sampala, and personally led the people of the command to the front line to supervise the battle.

The 1st Field Regiment was the main attacking force that Raceno valued the most, and he came to the 1st Field Regiment first, directly called the regiment commander Komal to him, and asked angrily: "What the hell is going on?" Why can't your regiment defeat the No. 1 Heights? ”

Komal said helplessly: "Report to the general, we can't do anything, the defense of the Chinese pigs is too strong." ”

Raceno pointed his finger at the No. 1 High Ground and said angrily: "Isn't it just a circular defensive position with a diameter of 100 meters? Is it that hard to fight? ”

Komal said with a wry smile: "General, the Chinese pigs also have defensive positions on the high ground, as long as our army attacks the circular defensive position under the mountain, it will face the attack of three-dimensional cross fire..."

Raceno raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said in a cold voice: "Don't talk so much nonsense with me, it's half past eleven in the evening, you prepare for me at once, you must rush to this high ground before half past two in the morning tomorrow, if I can still see you under the high ground at half past two in the morning, then you can roll me to the plantation to guard the piglets." ”

In the Spanish army, only the most incompetent people were sent to guard the Chinese slaves, and Colmer felt humiliated by Racello's words, and just before he could speak, Raceno had already brushed his sleeves away.

Komayer's chest was full of anger, and he was extremely uncomfortable, so he had to vent his anger on his subordinates, he called a few battalion commanders, and scolded angrily, and the battalion commander was silently scolded, so he could only go back and spread his anger on his subordinates, and in this way, everyone was angry, and with the support of anger, they thought of a lot of ways to attack the position.

At one o'clock in the morning, Raceno personally gave the order for a general attack, and the four regiments attacked together, and the Spanish soldiers rushed to the circular defensive position under the mountain like a tide, and the field regiment was angrily scolded by Raceno, and wanted to wash away the shame, so the morale was high, and he strode to the position.

The troops faced by the 1st Field Regiment were the 1st Battalion of the 6th Regiment that rescued Qi Lei, they were in full position, the grenadiers were loaded with propellants, the grenades were removed from the safety, and the bullets were filled with magazines, seeing the Spanish soldiers rushing to a place more than 200 meters away from the trenches, the commander of the defenders, Zhang Zhenhai, ordered loudly: "Grenadier canisters, open fire..."

The grenadier pulled the launch button, and one grenade flew towards the Spanish soldiers, and the scattered shrapnel blew down a group of Spanish soldiers, but at this moment, a "sudden" sound came from the Spanish position, and several grenadiers fell down screaming.

The commander looked in the direction where the voice came, and saw that five or six hundred meters away, the Spaniards did not know when they had built a high slope with a mound of earth, on which were two Maxim heavy machine gun vehicles, and the bullets had just entered the circular defensive position, and five or six hundred meters had exceeded the accurate firing distance of the rifle, so the defenders in the position had no way to take it, which was exactly the attack method that the Spaniards came up with.

Zhang Zhenhai hurriedly called a herald and said, "Go up the mountain and let the brother troops blow up that firepower point." ”

When the herald heard the order, he turned and ran to the high ground, and during this time, bullets rained down on the ring defensive position, and more than a dozen soldiers were hit by bullets, and their bodies were killed on the spot.

These bullets pressed the soldiers' heads and couldn't lift their heads, and what was even more unfavorable to Lin Fei's troops was that the two Maxim heavy machine gun vehicles were located on the sides of the trenches, and the bullets could hit the trenches, but they would not hit the charging Spanish soldiers.

Zhang Zhenhai saw that the enemy army was getting closer and closer, and the enemy's bullets were still falling on his position, his heart was very anxious, he turned his head to look at the top of the high ground, and he could not see the herald, at this moment, only heard heavy wheezing and messy footsteps outside the trench...... Spanish soldiers rushed up ...

Before Zhang Zhenhai could look up, several Spanish soldiers jumped in, one of them landed right next to Zhang Zhenhai, Zhang Zhenhai didn't have time to pull out his bayonet, directly picked up the grenade placed on the edge of the position, and smashed it at the head of the Spanish soldier.

There was a crisp "bang", and the Spanish soldier fell down with a muffled snort, and Zhang Zhenhai shouted heartbreakingly: "Brothers, use bayonets..."

Before Zhang Zhenhai's words fell, he felt something hit him, and under the impetus of that force, he involuntarily pounced forward, and fell heavily to the ground.
